I don’t know that I necessarily see Trump in that way. Yes, there are things that he’ll do to protect his brand, but I don’t think maintaining America’s course in this conflict is one of those things that will affect his brand enough for him to change things. He moved the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and ordered the assassination of Soleimani so he clearly has no problem doing things to support Zionism.

For the Soleimani assassination, IIRC the military basically gave him a list of options and he just chose it semi-randomly.
